You cannot, Oracle does not support this Unix variant.

Installation procedure is described in FreeBSD Handbook Chapter 11 Linux Binary Compatibility. But oracle is running in emulated Linux environment, so probably it is not efficient.

It's not that the Linux emulation isn't efficient, it's just that it isn't supported. Unless this is just Oracle XE, I certainly wouldn't recommend spending thousands of dollars for a high end database and then run it on an untested platform. Not to mention that you're probably going to need Java too, which also doesn't have an official binary for FreeBSD. If you call Oracle for help, I'll guarantee you that they'll tell you to run it on a different operating system. If you need a database that runs on FreeBSD, the ports system has a category just for databases.

Personally, I would recommend PostgreSQL as it pretty much runs on Windows and most *nix systems. Unless you need something specific (such as heterogeneous services in Oracle), it seems to get good marks all around. Otherwise, your best bet is using RHEL, OEL, or a clone.
